Spammers hasn't any rules? Even google got spammed today!



Look at the spam message posted in Google's android home page today


It was very unfortunate to see some spam posts in google's page itslef. i am a regular visitor of their android site. and today i saw a community created by some of the naughty spams, and its listed in their android home page.

It seems spammers hasn't any rules, they can enter anywhere without permissions( open doors?).
one of my forums powered by phpBB 2.0.22 is attacked by a couple of spams now a days. they can even break up the most modern captchas also. ( how brilliant they are.... )

Spamming is considered as one of the criminal offenses in most of the countries. but still thousands of spam boats as well as human spammers are active and they are posting millions of spam messages across the internet. they are paid for what they are doing. in my opinion, rather than tracing out the spammers, punish the people behind these spammers.

SMS turned 15 today - Happy Birthday !!!




SMS - Short Message Service. the most popular text message sending service available in GSM mobile phones turned its sweet 15 year today!

That first message, which read "Merry Christmas," was sent by Neil Papworth, an engineer at AirWide solutions, via the vodafone network to a colleague at the mobile operator who was enjoying the festivities of a staff Christmas party.

That first message sent back in 1992 was just the tip of the iceberg. It wasn't until the following year that phone-to-phone texting was born, thanks to an engineering student at Nokia being the first to type an SMS on a GSM phone

So Happy Birthday and long live Sweet Messaging Service....
